Geraint Thomas says he is delighted with a deal to stay at Team Sky until 2021

Thomas, who joined Team Sky in 2010, added; “It really is one big happy family where my relationship with Team Sky is concerned, so I couldn’t be more delighted.

“I feel at home with the Team. I’ve known Dave (Brailsford), Rod (Ellingworth) and Fran (Millar) for years, since I was 17, so it’s great that I’ll be continuing to work alongside those guys and the rest of the Team.”
